Over a decade ago, mobile phones featured large antennas that needed to be pulled out before making a call. Inventor Carles Puente Baliarda revolutionised antenna design with the introduction of fractal antennas small enough to fit inside a phone’s body and providing powerful reception. The patenting of this invention paved the way for the founding of Fractus, S.A., now a world leader in the design and manufacture of fractal antennas.
